Touted as focussing “on different characters ranging from steerage passengers to upper class guests”, Titanic has been created by Nigel Stafford Clark with Fellowes providing the scripts.

Stafford said there was “a lasting fascination with the Titanic’s one and only voyage, and never more so than in the year of its hundredth anniversary.

“We will tell the story in a way that is bold, fresh and gripping, with all the human detail that television does so well. We hope it will be a fitting tribute to the events of that night.”

Laura Mackie, Director of ITV Drama said, Fellowes had delivered “another compellingly written and ambitious drama for ITV1” which she said “promises to be the must-see original drama for this landmark anniversary.”
